3-Day Diet Analysis Essay

Three Day Diet Analysis
Growing up I have always given my dad a hard time for his weight until about four years ago when he pulled out his wedding tux and I tried it on and could not fit in it. I am currently six foot four inches and weight approximately one hundred and fifty pounds so you can share my amazement when I found out that I couldn’t fit into my two hundred and fifty pound father’s tux. My dad got married when he was twenty two and I just turned twenty two, so I believe that it is about time to start being more a wear of what I eat. Being that I am currently underweight, I haven’t had to discipline myself when it comes to eating too much. My…show more content…

My lunches will be foods that give me two ounces of grains, one cup of vegetables, and one cup of dairy. My afternoon break is a perfect time for my afternoon snack that will consist of one ounce of grain, a half cup of vegetables, a half cup of dairy, and two ounces of protein foods. My last meal of the day should contain two ounces of grains, one cup of vegetables, one cup of fruits, and two ounces of protein foods. Seeing the meal plans makes me feel like this diet is going to be something I am able to do.
I am a very active person, I think this is a contributing factor for my weight problem, and a proper diet like the meal plans provided by Super Tracker will give me the nutrients my body needs to drive through my work days with less fatigue and exhaustion. For as long as I remember my work days have consisted of my waking up, working, coming home and hitting the sack as soon as possible. With a proper diet, I have hopes of not only having more energy for work, but also for after work activities. There are so many things that I just cannot accomplish on my limited days off work. It would be ideal if I could take care of stuff during the work week as well. I guess in order for me to take care of things, I must first take care of myself by giving my body what it needs to be healthy and strong.

The Choose My Plate website provided by the U.S. government provides a way to plan, track, and compare meals based on the nutrients needed by the individual. Using the Super Tracker to track my food for the last 3 days and comparing it to what should be eaten was an eye opening experience.
My eating habits at this time include eating quite a bit of fast food and prepackaged food. I skip breakfast most mornings…

Food Intake - 3 Days
According to the World Health Organization, “Nutrition is the intake of food, considered in relation to the body’s dietary needs.

Three Day Diet Analysis
For this three day diet analysis project I wanted to eat as I normally would and be honest about all that I ate, to analyze not only what and how much I was eating, but also to see how healthy my diet really is. By doing so I can see if any of my diet choices are putting me at risk for certain health diseases, and what changes can be made to make my diet healthier. After analyzing my diet, I would say I am fairly healthy, though I am out of the target range in a few…

According to my three day diet analysis it seems like my eating habits are poor. Not necessarily that I am consuming too many bad foods but I am not getting the all around nutrients that I need on a daily basis. Sometimes not eating enough. Or ot finding time to eat at all is a big issue in this. Due to my job and the lack of time I have at home it is hard for me to get the nutrients I need on a daily basis. With the target that is shown of six oz. of grains two and a half cups of vegetables…

My life is very rushed and busy all the time.
After filling out my super tracker report…

During my three-day food intake I learned about myself. There are many benefits of good nutrition. ”Medical Online” states “besides helping you maintain a healthy weight, good nutrition is essential for the body and all its system to function optimally for a lifetime.” A healthy diet promotes good sleep, gives the body what it needs to stay healthy, and provides energy. According to “Mealtime Memo” Good nutrition means getting the calories that we need for energy and the nutrients we need for proper…
